EYEGLAssEs.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented New. a, wie.

Application led March 31, 1919. Serial No. 286,316.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it 'known that I, EARL RUTIEDGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hope, in the county of Hempstead and State o'f Arkansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Eyeglasses, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention4 has reference to eye glasses or spectacles.

High power arc lamp llghts, employed 1n connection with moving picture machlnes seriously affect the operators eywes, audit is the primary object of the present invention to produce an eye glass or spectacle in which each of the lenses comprises an upper transparent section and a lower translucent section or panel, and to further arrange over the transparent panels a shade, the translucent panels preventing the glare of the lamp affecting the operator-s eyes, while the upper transparent panels permit of the operator obtaining a clear view of the thrown on a screen.

A further object of the, invention isto produce an article of this character which may be cheaply manufactured and which will be thoroughly eliicient for the purpose devised.

Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature o'f the'invention is better understood, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a rear view of an eye glass or spectacle constructed i-n accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.

While my improvement may be in the nature of an eye glass, the same, in the ac-y companying drawing is illustrated in connection wlth a pair of spectacles. The frame 1 may be of the ordinary construcpictures tion, and the lenses may each be constructed 'of a vpair of panels or a single lens covered to provide a lower translucent panel 2 and With an eye protector constructed as above described,it will be seen that the translucent panels of the lenses protect the operators eyes from the high glarerof the lamp employed in picture making machines, while the transparent panels of the lens permit of the operator having a direct view of the screen and the pictures thrown thereon. The hood or shade 4 protects the operators eyes from overhead lights, and it is thought that the simplicity of the construction and the advantages thereof will be appreciated without further description.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

An eyeglass or spectacle including a frame and lenses in the frame, said lenses comprising each a lower translucent panel and an upper transparent panel, an outwardly extending hood on the lens receiving portions of the frame arranged .at the top thereoffand comprising a lower straight portion and an upper portion which fis arched or curved toits connection to the frame, and the said hood partly covering the transparent panel of the lens.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.

EARL RUTLEDGE.
